Hi @irb_03 thanks for your response. That’s very interesting about your experience of treated breast being warmer for that length of time, and I didn’t realise that the swelling in the breast from radiotherapy could last for so long. I will check out the ALA site, thanks for that. Good point about having a qualified therapist - yes, she is qualified thankfully . I think I need to work on learning to ask more questions while in the appointment. I prepare for the things I know I want to understand better, but then new things that come up in the appointment often hit me by surprise, and only later do I think that I wish I had asked more questions to clarify those things. Live and learn from experience I suppose. Thanks again.
